Question:

In the following question a certain relation exists between the first two words. The same relation also exists between the third and the fourth word. Out of these four words one word is missing and is denoted by a question mark in the question. Find out the missing word from the words given below.
Lion : Den :: Dog : ?

Options:

Kennel

Cage

Funnel

Pen

Correct Answer:

Kennel

Explanation:

The answer is Kennel.

The relationship between the first two words is that the first word is a large wild animal that lives in a certain type of shelter, and the second word is the name of that shelter. The same relationship exists between the third and fourth words.

  • Lion lives in a den.
  • Dog lives in a kennel.

Therefore, the missing word is Kennel.

The other options do not make sense in the context of the relationship between the first two words.

  • Cage is a small enclosure for a wild animal, not a den.
  • Funnel is a tool for pouring liquids, not a den.
  • Pen is a small enclosure for animals, but it is not typically used for dogs.
